Endosymbiont Hypothesis
Prokaryotes came to live together in a symbolic relationship, the smaller living inside the larger living, to gain a survival advantage over other prokaryotes and eventually they evolved into Eukaryotic cells over many generations that spanned hundreds of thousands of years…
Endosymbiont Hypothesis
Endosymbiont Hypothesis shortened…
The smaller organism gained protection and the larger organism gained energy production or faster motility
